Documents

The documents on this website have, where possible, been
published in Portable Document Format (PDF) and Rich Text
Format (RTF) for viewing and printing, as well as in
HTML for online
viewing.

The best way to download a large document is to save it to your own computer:

right-click on the link

select "Save target as…" or similar

open the document from the location you select

Before downloading a document you should note the file size
as large files can take some time to download.

Adobe PDF

Applications such as the free Acrobat
Reader from Adobe are required to view PDF documents.

The PDF’s on this website are compatible with PDF 1.3
used in Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and later. If you are using an
earlier version of Acrobat the PDF file may not open in which
case you will need to install Adobe Acrobat 4.0 or later.

Text Size

To assist the visually impaired, the
Treasury website allows its users to set the size of their
viewing font.

If the font appears too small, your
browser may be set to the smallest viewing font.

In Internet Explorer, you can adjust the
viewing size by selecting the ‘View’ menu and
choosing ‘Text Size’. The ‘Medium’
setting will be comfortable reading for most users. Similar
functionality is available in other browsers, such as Netscape
and Mozilla, under the ‘View’ menu.

Searching

A simple search strategy

The best strategy for searching on the Treasury website is to
start with a single keyword. Then, if there are too many
irrelevant documents listed, add more keywords to refine the
list (by default, only documents containing all of the search
terms are displayed).

The Treasury keyword search does not accept special characters such as:

Dates can be entered — in DD/MM/YYYY format — to
limit the documents found to those published between two
dates. For example, documents
published in November 2001 would be 01/11/2001 - 30/11/2001. You can also
search for documents released before or after a specific date by leaving the first or second date field blank.

Note: The Treasury website searches keywords associated
with a document, not the full text of the document itself.
This type of search returns only the most the relevant
documents, so there are less for you to sort through.
